ADVANCE is a faith-filled generosity initiative that positions Access Church to step into our first permanent home and expand our mission of helping people become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
On October 31, 2025, we closed on a 30,000-square-foot facility on Sandy Drive in State College, PA. Our goal is to give $1.84 million toward renovations and begin construction in July 2026 to prepare this space for greater ministry impact. Through the ADVANCE generosity initiative, we believe 100% of our church family will be part of moving from borrowing to possessing—so we can ADVANCE the kingdom of God in our community and beyond.
WHAT IS ADVANCE?
Commitment Sunday
On Sunday, February 15, we’ll be asking everyone who calls Access Church home to fill out a two-year commitment card, above and beyond their regular tithes and offerings, toward this initiative. Along with that commitment, we’re also asking everyone to bring a portion of their pledge as a Launch Offering. We believe this will be the single largest offering we’ve ever received as a church—and it will be a day of celebration!
If you’re not part of Access Church but believe in our vision and would like to give toward this initiative, you can click the link below to give online and select “Give to ADVANCE.”
